A Slight Token of Appreciation.

Nathaniel E. Smith has been the train dis
patcher of the Shore Line and Air Line d.
visions of the Consolidated road for four
years. During that time he has so faithfully
performed his duties and won the respect of
his employers and brother employees that
they decided to present to him, as a slight
token of appreciation of his work, a
Wheatstone Bridge rheostat and galvanome-
ter combined, pocket set of telegraph in
struments and two standard works on the
subject of testing. He was completely sur

Closing Exercises Of Rocky
Mount High School.


RocKY Moukr, La, JuLY 4, '87.
Mr.. Editor: On Friday evening
last, the writer of this article had the
pleasure Of attending the closing ex-
ercises Of the Rocky Mount High
School, conducted with so much abil-
ty by our eminent and enthusiastic
educator, Prof. J. E. Johnston. There
were no regular examinations, but
the advanced classes in history and
geography we're called up and al
though without any previous prepara-
ton answered with astonishing rapid
ity various questions gone over dur
ing the preceding term-questions
which I firmly believe would have
puzzled many college graduates to
answer.
Lastly, but not least in importance,
eame the speeches and compositions,
which latter deserve especial com
mendation. While we listened to the
thrilling and soul-stirring illusions Of
these juvenile orations and authors,
our minds almost unconciously revert
ed to the day when we claimed the
Rocky Mount Academy as our s.Alma
Mater"-when we too mounted the
seH-same stage and gave vent to some
grand burst of eloquence, or listened
in rapt attention to the well-knowr
lines:
You'd scarce expect one of my age,
To speak in public on the stage"
| Among the compositions deserving
especial mention were the following
"a Fishing Excursion" Miss Lens
Gleason; 'Woman's Influence" Mis-
Lucie Hughes; ''True Courtesy,
Misa Rosa Elston; Remember Me,
Miss Georgia Bixler; Chow to Writ,
a Composition" Mr.. Lee Sworr. Al
space will not permit me to mention
the others, suffice it to say they al
ACQUITTED themselves admirably ant
reflected credit both on &hemselve,
and their perceptor. By the unani
nous vote of the audience it was de
cided to send copy Of the compost
ton entitled GA Fishing Excursion,
mentioned above, to your estimabl
paper for publication.
/ Without further tresspasaing o.
| your valuable space, I will close.
| Respectfully,
| A VISITOR.

Thurman to the Front.

q )
The Indication are that Judge
AllenG. Thurman will be nominated
for Governor of Ohio by the Demo
cratic conventions which meets next
Wednesday,. The grand old man is
not candidate for the nomination
and protests against comforting it
upon him. But he is soopatriotic to
refuse call to duty preferred by his
party.
The Office Of Governor Of OHIO is
not q very important place and it re-
quires very little ability to fill it,
The fact that Foraker is able to dis
charge the duties is an evidence OF
this fact. But there is such q thing
rs elevating an Office, and that's just
what Judge Thurman would do with
The Office of Governor of Ohio.
By all means let the old man be
nominated. His appearance in the
canvass would inspire Democrats in
Ohio to hope and activity, and his
voice from the stump would be heard
all over the country and echoed in
every part Of the United States
Three cheers for Thurman!

A Fishing Excursion.

About two weeksago !, in company
with large party Of young folks,
some in wagons, some in buggies,
started to the ''bayou" to have a fish
fry. We started about A o'clock P. M.
in order to reach our destination in
time to make the necessary prepare
ton for camping out, preparing sup
per, &c. But owing to lazy teams,
rough roads, and a blissful ignorance
Of the roads, we did not reach there
till that delightful and romantic
hour of the evening when
Twilight draws her sable curtain,
And pinsi it with q star"
Pale-faced Luna was shining in all
her efulgence and beauty. lending a
romantic charm to all objects upon
which her magic mantle fell. The
stars too, one by one, peeped out from
behind their azure curtains, and as
we gazed upon those radiant orbs,
like the ancient wise men OF the East.
we recalled the beautiful lines of the
poetso familiar to our juvenile minds:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Howl wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like diamond in the sky"
In due time the meal was spread
out upon the table-cloth on the grass
with no covering except the canopy
OF the heavens. We all gathered in
true Gipsey fashion, and a. our appe.
tites were considerably whetted by
the long ride, we did ample justice te
the tempting viands. After supper
we all gathered around the campfire
to have q social chat, while those who
we're addicted to the use Of the weed
gathered in q knot and throwing
themselves on the velvety carpetine
Of natures own handiwork, yielded
themselves up to the pleasing inAu
ences Of the soothing narcotic.
/ Then came the browning event Of
the evening, dance on the smooth
yielding grass, in which all true fol
lowers Of the ssTerpsichorean art
Joined. In this manner they stripped
the light fantastic toe" till two o.
three tripped and fell, and then yer,
abruptly came the stern mandate from
two or three older and wiser heads
